Fairmont Taghazout Bay Crowned Morocco’s Best Beach Resort for the Third Consecutive Year

Perched above the azure waters of the Atlantic, just a short drive north of Agadir, Fairmont Taghazout Bay has once again solidified its reputation as a benchmark in Moroccan luxury hospitality. At the prestigious World Travel Awards 2025, widely regarded as the “Oscars of the tourism industry,” the resort was named Morocco’s Best Beach Resort for the third year in a row.
This accolade reflects not only international recognition but also the unwavering commitment to excellence that defines Fairmont Taghazout Bay. Nestled between argan-covered hills and golden Atlantic beaches, the resort is a haven of contemporary elegance and Moroccan art de vivre. Its sleek, beach-inspired architecture, private villas with pools and butler service, and an immersive wellness offering are complemented by a vibrant culinary scene led by Executive Chef Georgiy Danilov. With seven distinctive dining concepts, the resort continues to reinvent itself as a true gastronomic destination.

This year, Fairmont Taghazout Bay has enriched its offerings with innovative experiences. Highlights include the opening of NOLA, a speakeasy bar reminiscent of the jazz age with live performances and daring cocktails, as well as two new padel courts featuring a Bullpadel Proshop and a refreshing Matcha Bar. On the wellness front, holistic therapies such as Janzu, a deep aquatic relaxation, and transformational Breathwork sessions invite guests to reconnect body and mind.
Since its opening in July 2021, Fairmont Taghazout Bay has become an exceptional seaside destination that seamlessly blends refinement, discretion, and authenticity. Its unique location in a preserved ecosystem makes it an ideal retreat for families and discerning travelers seeking exclusivity, serenity, and natural beauty.
“This award is an honor that inspires us to continue raising the standards of luxury hospitality,” says Francis Desjardins, General Manager of Fairmont Taghazout Bay. “It is above all a testament to the passionate work of our teams and our commitment to offering each guest a truly unique experience on the Taghazout Bay.”
